how do you show all the files provided by a homebrew formula?

Question

I wish to know the list of files that are provided (e.g. libcaca) to know if a given file will ba present (in that case, `/usr/local/cacaview)

how do I achieve that?

Answer 1

There's no way to know what files are provided by a formula until you install it, but once installed, you can run

$ brew ls -v <formula>

to list all the files it provides.
